Any other quirky, but useful, mechanics that you use?

You've never seen me run
They all look quirky but they're all useful in one way or another
We check off with a closed fist instead of a salute. I suspect our mechanic for 'two sticks' is the same as yours (same as the downbox on illegal forward pass).
We did some work with reminders on the hold-and-go this year because it was new to everybody in the province except the CIS panel of 12 and the 2 or 3 officials who work CFL as well as community ball. Basically the 'go' guy would leave one arm up for a second after he dropped the gates as a discrete signal that he was the 'go' guy -- this instead of the silly mechanics in the officials' manual. With all the bloody saluting and waving going on it would be easy to think the crew was swatting mosquitoes instead of officiating a football game.
I suspect one would find out in an exchange about what bizarre mechanics get used.
